Does anyone have an argument against this test for AGI? Clearly it is
a sufficient but not necessary condition for human-level AGI, just
like the Turing test.
I think it makes sense to judge the intelligence of AGIs about the
same way we judge the intelligence of animals, people or
organizations. So I like your "University of Phoenix" test. Doing
well in college is one sign of intelligence that suggests an
approximately human level of intelligence. One weakness in this test
is that a human who does well in college is assumed to have some
other skills. They probably feed themselves, have a social life,
watch TV, drive cars, etc. After college they get jobs, raise
families, have hobbies, etc. So just graduating from an online
college is not quite human level intelligence but it is in the
neighborhood. Of course the AGI may also have other skills to
balance things out.
In many ways my laptop already seems like an idiot savant to me and
overall seems smarter than a dog. That's one of the reasons super
human level AGI in the near future seems plausible to me.
